Select the ends of the lines to stretch using a CROSSING WINDOW. I think there is a tutorial on the CADTutor main page about selecting objects. Also AutoCAD's help file should explain the crossing window concept.

On the other hand: I think you should draw rectangles using the RECTANGLE command.

You make your selection process "crossing" by clicking in a right to left fashion. That is, click first the right corner of the selection window then the left corner. You will see the selection rectangle appear as a dashed line. If you select a normal window (left corner, right corner) the selection window visible line will be 'solid"

Notice: after I Stretch the box, I grip edit and move the box back to where I wanted it. You can grip edit a single vertex by picking the grip, but you can also move as many vertices as you select if you Shift+Left-Click each grip, then Left-Click the grip you want to stretch from.

You forgot to specify that after you selected the ends to be stretched, you pressed the shift key while you selected again the diagonal lines, -so in fact you get them deselected. Shift+select on already selected objects causes to remove them from the selection set.

Oh yeah, sorry about that. Thank you for adding that bit of information.
